Friedrich Lucae (clergyman)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Lucae (Latinized from :) Friedrich Lichtstern (* 1644 ; † 1708 in Rotenburg ) was a German Reformed pastor and Silesian chronicler .

Life

Friedrich Lucae came from a family of Reformed creed. His father Johann Lucae was a professor at the Princely High School in Brieg . Friedrich Lucae attended school there before enrolling at Heidelberg University in 1662 to study theology . This was followed in 1664 and 1665 by visits to the University of Nijmegen , the University of Utrecht , the University of Leiden and finally in 1667 the Brandenburg University of Frankfurt . In 1668 he found employment as the second court preacher in Brieg, but a short time later he was appointed first court preacher in Liegnitz .

After the death of Duke Georg Wilhelm I , with whom the Silesian Piast dynasty died out in 1675, the duchies of Liegnitz, Brieg and Wohlau fell back to the Crown of Bohemia , which had been owned by the Habsburgs since 1526 . They pursued a strict re-Catholicization in the duchies. After the Liegnitz Castle Church was closed, Friedrich Lucae emigrated . In 1676 he was accepted in Kassel by the Landgravine of Hesse as senior pastor in the Neustadt there. In 1685 he became the second court preacher. Only a few years later, the Prince of Nassau-Siegen appointed him as a church councilor and inspector of the school system in Siegen . In 1694 he returned to Hesse and became Metropolitan in Spangenberg , but already moved to Rotenburg around 1696 to work again as a pastor. There he was dean of the Elisabethstift and Metropolitan of the diocese at the same time and until his death .

His descendants include Samuel Christian , Friedrich and Gustav Lucae .
